TILLER CHARGED WITH 19 CRIMINAL COUNTS

Wichita, KS – Attorney General Paul Morrison has announced that he is filing 19 misdemeanor charges against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller because he used a second physician that was not financially or legally unassociated with him, as required by law.

Operation Rescue has been reporting since August, 2006, that they suspected that Tiller’s association with Dr. Ann Kristen Neuhaus was an illegal one. Neuhaus was listed as a witness when Former Attorney General Phill Kline filed 30 criminal charges against Tiller last December. Those charges were dismissed on shaky jurisdictional grounds.

In his announcement, Morrison trivialized the murder of late-term children by calling the charges a “technical violations.”

“While we are happy that charges are being filed against Tiller, we are guarded about this because we believe that these charges are the weakest against Tiller. There is now a pattern of illegal activity by abortionist Tiller and Kline’s investigation is proven to have merit,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

“Now, because we have charges on the 2003 records, we insist that Morrison subpoena the 2004 and 2005 abortion records. Furthermore, in order for justice to be done, the criminal late-term abortion charges against Tiller, as supported by Psychiatrist Dr. Paul McHugh must be reinstated,” said Newman.

Kline filed 15 charges alleging illegal late-term abortion were committed by Tiller for reasons such as so a woman could go to a rock concert.

“We believe the filing of charges against Tiller vindicates Kline’s investigation of Tiller,” said Newman. “There is a pattern of abuses and illegal activity that is going on at Tiller’s mill. This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

There was evidence supporting charges of illegal late-term abortions, but Morrison refusaled to prosecute on those charges. At least if found guilty it should take away his licence to practice murder.

More likely the AG plans to mount a weak case enabling Tiller to beat all the charges. Any future charges would be looked upon as malicious and dismissed.

If found guilty of the counts it should be enough for him to lose his medical license.

I believe he is the only doctor in that region of the country willing to perform late term abortions.

If convicted, are you sure these misdemeanor charges are enough to jerk his license? Hope so, but not sure.

Better than nothing.

Thanks Bill O'Reilly, for putting a spotlight on this.

Morrison has sold his soul.....Tiller has none.

There must have been considerable pressure for Morrison to initiate any charges against this monster. Both need our prayers.
